But there's a very big gap between knowledge into action also in MLM. Think of all the money that's spent on knowledge: whether it's a large companies trying to improve their efficiency, or housewives and stay at home dads trying to get into better shape. They know the adjustments they need to make, but they always fail to set habits and follow though.
Let's look together at some of the gaps that keep you from turning knowledge into profitable and useful habits.
The Fear Of Change
Failure can be comfortable. It represents a continuation of a routine that, at least on some level, has brought us a lot of pleasure. Now where this breaks down is that pleasure and happiness are two very different things.
Pleasure can be bought with a cookie, it can be found in the bottom of a bottle, you can get a short rush of it with a few minutes on Facebook.
Happiness is harder, and the road towards it is longer, winding, and littered with distractions. The constant pursuit of pleasure, ironically enough, keeps more more people away from becoming happy.
You Won't Learn By Doing
There are too many people who tried to do by learning instead of learning by doing also in the MLM industry. Talking about problems to death rarely solves them. People talk too much already. It's natural to want to go into a scary situation with knowledge at your back. But once you've learned the basics of a skill, start acting on it. Then look for new information once you've run into a serious roadblock, or have a smaller aspect of the skill that demands your attention.
You Rely On Motivation Instead Of Habit
It's okay to feel "unmotivated" sometimes, to hit a roadblock and need something positive to dig you out. But you're always needing to be motivated for any kind of positive action in your life, it's a sign that you haven't really put the energy you should into setting habits.
Habits aren't subjects that need motivation. Habits are things that we just do, whether it's a good time or a bad time. If you can devote one month to establishing a positive habit, chances are much better that you do it for a long time to come.
Accepting "Life Excuses"
Too many people take "life happens" as an excuse not to do the things that they should. It's almost like there's no effort to leap the obstacles that life puts in front of them. It's important to set uninterrupted times and uninterrupted places for the most important priorities cannot be violated. When you give yourself a choice between any two things, there's a chance you will take the less beneficial choice.
Set up at daily routine that eliminates those choices.
Going From Zero To A Hundred
When it sinks in how far behind we are on our goals, it's easy to try to do too much at once and destroy our desire to improve altogether. While there are people who can handle this sort of drastic shift, for most people in the MLM business it'll be best to start small, focus on repetitive action, and scale up from there - like I learned it earlier from multi million dollar earner and tody one of the best trainers of the MLM industry: Dale Calvert !
No More Excuses
The time for learning and not doing it over. Step up and start making a serious change in the way you approach problems... right now!
A few years ago I wrote an article about the pitfalls of procrastination in the ProfessionalMLM Magazine in Hungary, I though it is worth to share with you some of my thoughts, experiences also in this blog as I consider procrastination is the highest "business expence" or danger.
I trust, this article will help you in your MLM Business,
